Congrats. Glad this is working out for you and that the income is better than previous pay. I first saw $2k and was a bit disappointed, but didn't realize you were in Poland, and that this was double your earlier money.

Keep up the good work!

Plug: This is the sort of thing we'd like to see more of at the next indieconf! :)

Google policy do not accept developers from Poland (and some other countries) to post paid applications on Android Market. I am allowed to post only free apps...

Nice to see you doing well. I am curious about the Freelancer income, does that mean you referred yourself and are taking commissions on your own stuff?

it seems to work out with advertising, as it is for more and more app developers because you just get so much more installs without a pricetag on it. Most devs dont have any marketing muscle, so free apps with advertising often is a good approach.
